Welcome

The mission of the department is to provide a quality educational program that promotes excellence in teaching, research and professional service. The primary goal of our program focuses on providing the knowledge and skills of obstetrics and gynecology and preparing medical students and residents for primary care and preventive clinical practice, as well as specialty practice in obstetrics and gynecology. In addition, our program prepares resident physicians for American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) certification, encourages subspecialty training within the discipline and enhances a strong sense of ethics, responsibility and leadership in academic medicine. The department continues to receive national recognition in medical education conferences and presentations, research, publications, awards, national office appointments and national committee service.
